Sum it up in a Sentence:
Bad-ass manga about giant-slaying.
Main Description
Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.
Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Elen and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Personal Opinions
IShallRiseAgain
This series is pretty awesome. One of its greatest strengths is how well thought out and developed the setting is. You can tell how much effort the author put into the world-building and it doesn't feel like the setting merely exists as a convenient plot element generator. The plot itself is interesting, and encourages lot of speculation. The action is also pretty great. Its an all-around good series, and I highly recommend checking it out.
